What to expect from the 9/7 Apple Event

We’ve been waiting for an announcement that we knew was coming and it is now confirmed since the invites are out.  The question is, is the cat out of the bag or does Apple have something up it’s sleeve at this point?
iPhone 7/7Plus
The iPhone has been a staple device in the lives on many for nearly 10 years and this year is no different.  With subtle changes expected to be coming to the exterior and a new A10 chip powering it to make iOS even faster, this is surely going to be a spectacular decice.  Additionally, rumors suggest that the iPhone 7 Plus model will contain a dual camera setup to be able to capture depth information similar to that of modern DSLR cameras — this is a big deal.  A very big deal.  Lastly, let’s talk about the elephant in the room….the lack of a headphone jack. Sorry kids, this is nothing to write home about.  Supposedly the device is shipping with wireless “air pods” instead of the cabled mess that you’d normally receive.
I will not miss the 3.5mm jack.

Mac
The bustle has been “new MacBook Pros, new MacBook Pros” since Apple’s WWDC event where they were not released to the surprise of many.  According to many sources, Apple was waiting on the Kaby Lake processors from Intel.  There should be large changes to the MacBook Pro line with faster processors and a new macOS Sierra to power them.

Watch
Apple Watch 2 is the buzz.  Thinner, lighter and a bigger battery should power watchOS 3.  Take a look at highlights of watchOS 3 here here (Source: iMore).
